Hello,

Is it possible for me to pass an Object from a Server to a Client.

This is what I want to do.

I have an Automated COM Server Object, My clients know where and how to
connect to this server.
On my server  computer other COM Classes are registered, but i don't wnat my
clients to know where or how to connect to this other COM Object.
My Server should have an inteface that client calls to obtain a reference of
any COM Object it needs, without knowing where the Object from resident.

in a nutshell my server is nothing but an Object server. ie it server object
to the client.

My problem is that Borland C++ COM Interface does not allow you to pass
Objects or returns Objects unlike VB Class Object, where you can pass or
return any type you can within VB .

Is there a way to do this???.

Thanks All

Darl.
